Murder Mysteries: The London Murder Mystery Game

It is the late 19th/early 20th century. Women Suffrage, as a movement, is growing in popularity. A woman is found dead shortly after a Women’s Rights rally. Do you have the detective skills to solve this gruesome murder?
This is a point and click adventure game. There are sounds to add immersion as well as small easter egg clickables of real posters, letters, newspaper clippings and facts from the time period.

The London Murder mystery! Perfect for online lessons. A self contained point and click game to evolve inference skills, recognising links and comparisons of evidence through texts and logical development and above all…HAVE FUN! Suitable for all GCSE levels as well as Functional Skills English. This lesson works exceptionally well for cover lessons. Works well on tablets, laptops SMART boards and white-board projectors.

This game works brilliantly in small groups or as a whole class task with lower levels. Encouraging note taking, and spotting small details as well as how to filter and disregard non-relevant information. This lesson has proven popular with all my students and is even a bit of fun for teachers and support staff to join in the investigation.

The end also allows for class discussion on multiple topics such as ; Women’s/ equal rights, protests, Historical figures, crime, misunderstandings, communication skills, teamwork, mysteries, problem solving/puzzles… and much more!
